From several parties we have
learned that mischievOus boys are,
and have been causing much trouble
throughout the city. 1t has been the
cry all summer long that hOOdlums
have been ON the war path, and
committing nOnsensieal tricks that
so them no good, annoy residents,
and I'm some cases, damage property
to a considerable extent. Mr.. G.. o.
Taft reports that he has been bother
ed for some time with Just such
characters, but has made no COM
plant, as he did not know who was
TO blame, and because he wanted no
trouble. Last night he took a look
at his new house near the corner of
Seventh and south street, and some
one had been kind enough to fill an
old sack with water and throw it up
against newly plastered wall.
This Is only one instance, but we
could give you many more of like
character. Now such things are not
To be tolerated very long, and If par
ents will not take the trouble to keep
their children out Of such conduct,
they must abide by the cOnse-
quences. The authorities are paid
for looking after the affairs Of the
city, and they should make il their
business to see that property is pro-
tected, alike from thieves or hood
lums-there IL no material differ
ence between the two, a. the latter
class will soon drift To the ranks Of
the former, il left to themselves.
The Anthony Free Press suggests the
ACCESSIBILITY OF placing the"hOOdlum
bell" in Anthony. The bell, where
used, is rang ut a certain hour al
night, from which time all boys
under a stated age must be at their
home. The city police, after the
bell has rang, arrest all boys they
run across upon the streets and keep
them in the city Jail until morning.
IL parents do not take better care Of
their children in the future, the
above plan will have TO be adopted
I'm Salina.

Tuesday Mr.. Geo. Dannen-
field and others, noticed trio Of sus-
piciOus characters first sitting on the
door stepOf the old Muir blacksmith
shop, corner Of Fifth street and Iron
avenue. Two Of them were appa-
rently sober, while they seemed very
attentive to the third individual,
who was in an intoxicated condition.
They steered him around between
the buildings in that locality, and
their actions being so suspicious,
caused MIR. Dannenfeld to watch
them. They were trying to induce
the drunken individual to turn over
his pocket book to them for safe
keeping, hut the fellow object
ed, aud said he did not want to
give il up, as"there was 81 600 in il. :"
BY this time the man with the peck
et-boOk was getting pretty drunk,
and to prevent what seemed an at
tempt to commit robbery, word was
sent to the police headquarters by
Mr.. Dannenield, and Marshal Chaee
soon arrived and took the man in
charge, his two companions having
slipped away. As yet the man has
not sufficiently recovered from his
drunken stupOr to be able to tell
who or what he is, nor any Of the cir
cumstances connected with the case.
Whether or not he had any money
on his person, is not known, a. he
has not been searched yet by the
authorities. He is q stranger here,
and has the appearance Of a railroad
grader.

BAD ACCIDESr.
wmIs Wilson's Arm broken b the
Team Running Arnr.

The children Of B. l.. Wilson, who
reside on his farm a mile and q half
south Of the city, attend school at
the high school building in the city
and come 70 school each day by
team. The team il housed In the
stable Of his grandmOtheT, Mrs. NJ.
+. Wilson, Dn South Santa Re
avenue, near South street The
team Is almost always driv-
en- by Mr.. Wilson's oldest child.
Willie, a boy about fifteen years old.
After being dismissed from school
Tuesday afternoon, the team was
hitehed up 20 the spring wagon, by
Willie, and placing his two
small sisters in the wagon, they
started for home. Just south II
South street on Fifth, the delivery
Of Ed. Harrison driven by his driver,
appeared on the scene-One stale
ment says in front aud another in
the rear Of Wilson's team. The first
report Was that Harrison = driver un-
dertOOk 10 lash his horses ahead
Of Willie's team, which were high
nettled horses, ami another that
Willie dashed them into seeking to
pass Harrison's delivery. The lat
ter Is the version OF the driver, and
seems to be the true one. The team
drawing the children dashed Otto
the side Of the road into the orchard
Of T. r. Carver, Esq, and in run
ming around q tree the wagon struck
the tree and was thrown several
feet, forcing the two little girls out,
iniuring them slightly. The tug
was broken at this point and the
horses became IoOsened from the We
hiele, and Willie, who held fast to
the reins was pulled over the DASH
board and his right arm was
broken in one place. He was
taken to the residence Of his uncle,
f.. w. ODER and received the neces-
sary medical treatment and is get
ting along comfortably well. His
two sisters, while being somewhat
bruised, were at school this morn
ing. The wagon at noon stood where
the horses parted from it. II is for
tunate that Il was no worse than il j..
No damage occurred to the horses

Yesterday morning quite anepisOde
happened at Mr.. GradwOhrs resi-

little boy was over playing with Mr..
GradwOhl's children, when the lit

"put your finger down on this block
and I'll cut IL or" Accordingly
little Birdie obeyed, and the boy, to
make his word good, chopped OF the
finger. Il was the front finger Of the
right hand, ana about half an inch
Of the finger was severed, only 3

As the time for convention APP
prOaehes there Is increasing inter-
est manifested in regard TO the nu-
merOus candidates, and IL is to be
hoped that the voters will all attend
the primaries and make their pref
erences known. For the office of
register OF deeds the contest will be
mainly between G. s. Martin and A.
NJ. Campbell, and we think the lat
ter will prove to be the peoples
choice. Il it be true, IS the JOUR-
NAL alleges, that Radeliff 4 Martin
tried to persuade Campbell to be-
come candidate for county treasurer
instead Of register Of deeds, that fact
will forfeit Martins claim to a sec
Ond term. For sheriff, we believe
our people favor Olof FOrsse, and for
county clerk E. f. SwansOn.-AssG-

The HeraId's apology in the
SCANDAL" Is the silliest slush. The
Herald takes to itself the JUNCTION
that II Il had not given publicity TO
that dsstardly street report, that re-
port would have gone on gathering
momentum and strength without
the injured party having q chance TO
deny the serious charge" The Her
aid was acting the part Of the YER
itible phllanthrOpist and stood like
an adamantine wall in the courage
GUS execution Of . duty it owed to
the injured party" and humanity
On the same sOphistieal reasoning q
man should be shot to get him OutOf
his misery. There Is about a. much
sense in the one pOsitiOnas the other.
II the Herald man had been the
noble and self-sacrifieing individua
he pictures himself, he would flrst
have gone 10 the injured parties"
to learn the facts. "But the gOssips
nave II tuAb SUIT VIII V NoAiAAchc-
ed, etc. That Is a short way to an
item, ard items are valuable in that
vicinity. Unfortunately for the
Herald in this instance Il seems 90
possess a penehant for publishing ir-
responsible scandals" by previous
msundeFings. 10 IL 20 be expected
that newspapers make mistakes, but
the Herald measures It's strength
BY the lsiIs Of an antagonist or the
assaulted party. We have wit

honorable. Brave men do that when

vationtsts.

NAAAohAHAHs
We attended the Salvation Army
meeting at the rink Sunday night.
There were twenty-seven boys and
girls on the platform who wouldn't
average twenty years of age, and
who claim conversion but a month
or two back. They were led by a
captain who looks as though he was
about twenty years Of age. He don't
know anything, can't talk, and what
he does say is sort of a jaTgOn, rem
dered more unintelligible by a
whangdOOdle style. His reading is
gibberish, and he can't sing for sour
grapes. They have twenty-five
rough board seats, without backs,
capable of seating more than ten
each, at full, or more than 2O0peOple.
Seats along each side of the rink
were filled. We counted at one time
forty people standing and at another
sixty. There were fully $50 people
there. They began at s O'Clock, and
the general audience was dismissed
at l0:30, the Army and the converts
and few of the audience remaining
longer. A boy Of leader, without
culture or knowledge, assisted by
some children, kept $50 people on
plain board seats, and from forty to
sixty standing on their feet, for two
hours and a half. Towards the close
of the meeting the twenty-seven on
the platform moved down among the
audience. and each one went from
person to person, speaking for Jesus,
and as all were talking at once the
crowd appeared to be arabble. Some
one would start a song, suggested by
a remark from sinner or saint, and
then thep would all join in.-JURe-

Mrs. Geo. GALLON, living three
miles north Of Cambria, has been suf-
fering for some months with an
enormous enlargement Of the abdO-
men, which became so oppressive
that on Thursday a week ago she was
not expected TO live. Her attend
ing physician, DIR. Sanders, Of Niles,
Kan, desiring a consultation with
some good and well informed physi-
clan, it was agreed to call DR.. De-
Wees, of Salin, who fully confirmed
the diagnosis Of DIR. Sanders, pro-
nOuneing the case one Of pregnancy
complicated with Gscites. Medicines
were taken TO induce labor, and the
following night a healthy fully de-
velOped child was born, the mother
being greatly relieved, but the water
began 10 collect so fast In the abdO-
men that five days later (last Tues
day her life was again threatened.
DR.. Devices was again summoned,
and being assisted by his associates
DR.. F. B. Brown and DR.. Sanders
nov performed PdrdseHtesis abdOm-
inis, thereby removing successfully
over four gallons Of fluid. This
morning the case is reported a. do
ing remarkably well, both mother
and child bidding fair TO a happy re-
cOvery.
